Some People Ain't Got No Brought-Upsy: Shelter!?! + PRAYER ... Of Faith!

Popular N. Convenient
Was Berating Please Do-Right!
The Confrontation Was Quite Acrimonious
Because
Popular N. Convenient
Couldn't Get Please Do-Right
To Go With Him To Blight Your Life's Barf-Day Bash
On Leh We Guhdown's Yacht
Perishisaword!

Please Do-Right's Mummy
Di'n't Raise No Idiot Children
And ... Obviously 
Please Do-Right Didn't Have Any Loose Screws!
All Her Bolts Were Tight And Polished To A Glowing Patina
And
She Had Checked Her Operating Manual 

Just Before Popular N. Convenient Had 

Savagely Knocked At Her Door!

Some People Ain't Got No Brought-Upsy ...

So As Not To Waste Your Time
I'm Telling You Up Front
Popular N. Convenient Is A Fence Jockey
A Joy Rider
A Truth Trader
A Personal-Comfort Junkie
A Man For Perfect Seasons
A Cheap Suit-Or
A Friend Of Self

And
A Conformed, Confirmed, Satellite Of In-Fashion!

Be Ye Warned And Armed ...

The Bottom Line Is This

If Popular N. Convenient
Is
Your "Shelter"
In The Time Of Storm
I Strongly Suggest That You Forego That Shelter
And
Go For Broke And Take Your Chances
And
Walk Boldly Into The Raging Storm!
Believe Me: You Will Be Safer!

Call Jesus Christ The Lord!

Please Do-Right Had Prayed In Faith
Nothing Wavering:

Father Of The Faithful,

Giver Of All Good Gifts,

Please Help Me

To Protect My Thoughts And Actions

In And With The Word 

So That I May Protect My Self In The World!

Help Me To Walk By Faith

And

Not By Corrupt Eye-Sight!

Lord,

I Seek Only To Do Your Bidding

To Walk On The Strait And Narrow Way

To Be A Blessing And To Be Blessed:

I Desire, Gracious Father

To Be A Spiritual Success!

My Needs Are Few

My Heart On You Is Totally Fixed

And I Plead The Blood Of My Jesus

For Help To Stand Up

To The Tar Balls Of The World

When I Choose To Believe

And Live According To Your Holy Word

And Refuse To Give This Good-Time Charley

Popular N. Convenient A Play!

What You Have For Me, Lord

I Will Wait Patiently For

Because The Living Word Of Truth Says:

They That Wait On You Will Renew Strength!

The Word Also Says:

When I Wait On You

You Will Incline Unto Me

And

Hear My Complaints!

I Desire To Be Blessed, My Father

So, I Shall Wait On You!

Guide Me And Guard Me, Please!

Thank You For Listening

And

Thank You For Answering My Prayer Of Faith

For I Ask All In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

My Only Savior And True Friend To Life's End

And Then ... Glory!

AMEN.

A Word To The Wise ...

Popular And Convenient

Sounded To Please Do-Right

Like Wind Batting On Her Ears!

He Was Talking Chalk!

He Was Spinning His Wheels!

He Was Wasting Her Time And His Energy

And

Dear Please Do-Right 

Being Frugal And ... Ever Polite

Firmly Said:

Thanks Kindly For Thinking Of Me

But Please Do Not Ask Again!

We Do Not Walk The Same Road

Think Of The Same Things

Speak The Same Language

Or Desire The Same Future

So I Do Not Believe That We Can Walk Together!

We Simply Do Not Agree!

However,

If You Are Interested 

In Reading The Good Book With Me

And Learning What Jesus Christ Has Done

And Is Doing For Us Who Believe In Him

And Talking About The Salvation Of Our Souls

I Will Gladly Entertain ...!

... The Glass Rattled When The Front Door Closed!

Brethren,

Nip Sin In The Bud

No Matter Who It Bothers!

Go Against The Will

And

The Way Of Lord

To Be Popular

Is Fool-Hardy

And

It Shall Always End In Sorrow!

Stand Up For Our Jesus

And

Be Gloriously Blessed

Today And Forever!

Don't Play Dead

To See What Kind Of Funeral

You Shall Receive:

You May End Up Dead

And

Sad To Say

You Shall Never, Ever, Know

Your Outcome

In That Eventuality!

Do Right ... And Live

The Holy God To Delight!

**--**--**--**--**

The Second Coming

For

The Faithful Of God And Christ

Shall Be

A Glorious Sight!

Ingrates Are Never Anonymous!

Vertical And Ventilating
Was Conversing With
Horizontal And Belly-Aching
Who Always, Always, Always
Has A Reason To Explain Away
His Perpetual Vegetating!

Vertical And Ventilating
Loves, Loves, Loves
To Give Thanks And Praise
To His Maker, His God
And
Absolutely Refuses To Act The Ingrate
Like The Adversary Of Souls ... Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Verti Has Much For Which To Be Thankful!

Apparently, Fluffy-Belly Does Not!

Imagine This ...

The Family Of Man ... Created By Almighty God
Lives On Earth ... Created And Maintained By Almighty God
Enjoys The Lord's Bounty ... Created And Provided By Almighty God
And Yet
Most Of Its Members Are Card-Carrying

Practicing, Unapologetic, Ingrates!

Lord,

Please Spare Us The Ingrate's Fate!

Let's Hear Truth ... For Today!

Thanksgiving 

Is 

Very Thin On The Ground 

Where We, Humans, Are Concerned! 

We Ask For

And

We Receive Our Petitions Of The Lord

And 

In A Revolting Display Of Ingratitude

We Dine And Dash

We Grab 'N Go

And

We "Forget" That 

We Are Surely Going To Need His Help Again! 

We Behave Like We Are Doing The Lord A Favor 

By Accepting His Gifts Of Love 

When, In Fact, He Owes Us Nothing! 

We Owe Him Everything!

And Then ...

There's That Phrase:

"... And Call Upon Me In The Day Of Trouble...!"

How Do You Feel Calling Upon The Holy God

Whom You Have Roundly Disrespected

Ignored 

Taken For Granted

Gainsaid

Doubted

Denigrated

When You Are In Sure-To-Come Trouble!?!

Do You Experience Any Pangs Of Remorse 

For Your Oversight

For Your Past Lack Of Thankfulness

For All The Good And Perfect Gifts

That The Loving God Holy Has Lovingly Given Unto Us!?!

Brethren, Beloved,

Gratitude, Thankfulness, And Appreciation 

Are Graces To Be Cultivated Carefully 

And 

Offered Up Joyfully 

No Matter Where We Are 

Or Who Is Watching! 

We Have A Debt

Which We Can Never Repay

But

We Surely Can Show True Appreciation

Express Heartfelt Gratitude

And

Give Joyful Thanks Now 

And 

Always

In All Ways!

Give Almighty God His Praise!

LAZY CHRISTIANS: Truth Is ... And Done!

We Are All Tied Up
By The Threads Of Our Own Sin
Severable Only
By The Scissors Of The Lord 
Which He Uses To Set Us Free ...!

... You Could Really Hush Your Mout'!
The Lord Ain't A Man
So He Does Not Wield Any Scissors!

Au Contraire, Mon Frere!
You Do Not Know The Scriptures!

He Does Not Know The Scriptures
Because He Does Not Ever Read The Scriptures!
He Indulges In What "Pastor Say!"

Well, In That Case
I Suggest That We All Repair 
To The Good Book Of Wisdom
And
Let The Lord Of Life
The God Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Have With Us His Way!

My Friend,
I'll Let You Into The Little Open Secret
Found In That Living Word
And
Introduced By The Lord Christ, Himself!

Meet "Scissors:"

Whoa, Mama!
What Are You Saying!?!

I Am Saying ... Plainly
That Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Son Of The Eternal God
Our Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Faithful Friend
Is
The Truth ... Which Sets Us Free From Sin
And Is Therefore
Our Only Pair Of 
"Always-Sharp, Utterly Efficient, Effective, Scissors"
Useful Always For Cutting Sin Out Of Our Lives
And
Getting Us Unto Sure And Secure Soul Salvation
If
We Faint Not And Endure 
To Life's End Or The Second Coming Of Our Lord!!

Any Questions!?!

How, When, Why ...!?!

Easy!

He Left His Home In Glory
And
Became The Living Sacrifice
To Make A Way For Us
To Return To The Bosom Of The Father
After Having Escaped Sin
That Known Demonic Device!

He Came 
Because 
Almighty God Loves Us!
He Loves Us All Sacrificially!
He Came To Show Us How To Live Here
Oh, So, Abundantly!

He Came To Make The Way Of Salvation Plain
For You, For Me!
He Severed Sin's Strangling Ties Upon Humanity!
He Carved Out The Path That 
Leads To The Heavenly Home
And
Praise The Living God
He Promised To Be With Us Always
To Never Leave Us On Our Own!

But If He's There ... In Heaven
How Can He Be Here ... With Us ... Always!?!

Man, You Need To Crack Open Your King James Now!

It's An Amazing Gift Given To Us!

The Lord Went Home To His Glory
And
He Sent Unto Us His Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who He Promised
Will Lead Us Into All Truth!

Brother,
Truth Is A Two-Edged Sword!
It Cuts Coming And Going!
It Is No Respecter Of Persons!
It Has No Favorites!
It Does The Work Of The Master
And
Denies Man Any Opportunity
To Put Over Known-Sin
Band-Aids Or Cheap Plaster!

Good Gracious Me!
This Is A Disaster!
I Have Been Operating Under A Delusion!
I Have Been Walking Around
In A Fog Of Confusion!

Thank You, Brother
For The Word Of Truth!
I Shall Tell All Who Are Willing To Listen That
Truth Is Good For All Persons
Rich Or Poor
Aged Or Youth!

Man, Woman, Child ... Brethren,
Let Not Yourself Be Beguiled
By A Convenient Comfortable 
Not Quite Truthful Word
Aka The Comfortable Lie!

Truth Is Deep
Always Relevant
Unneedful Of Polish
Impervious To Place And Time!
Truth Is ... And Done!

Accept It!
Reject It!
Reflect Upon It!
Deflect It!
Whatever You Do, Dear One
Truth Belongs To The Eternal God
And
Cannot Be Changed, Erased, Remanufactured
Re-Imagined, Re-Engineered, Nor Re-Cast
By Any Created Being
Not Even By That Lying Devil
Satan, The Wannabe God
The Known Damned-For-Eternity Fraud!

Give Grateful, Thankful, Heartfelt Praise
To The Living, Eternal, Holy God
Who Is Truth
For His Gift To Us That Keeps On Giving:
His Always Relevant, Always Perfect, Truth!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

AMEN!

Life ... And Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ!

It Is Better To Bow In Love

Than To Bow For Discipline!

These Words Say And Mean Everything:

Life Is Life 

And 

Life Is Lived
Whether You Are In Joy, Want, Sorrow Or In Pain

So Do Not Curse The Lord! 

Do Not Be The Soul Profane!

Death
Is
The Known And Appointed End Of
This Mortal Life!

The Known-Dead Know
No Joy
No Sorrow
No Pain
No Saying
No Being
No Doing
No Love
No Hatred!

From The Second Death
- Which Is Eternal Separation From Almighty God -
There Is No Returning!
No Resurrection!
Ever!

There Is No Eternity Lived In Everlasting Misery! 

Man Desires Life
But
Does Man Make The Crucial Decision!?!

Does Desire Comport With Decision
Or
Does Desire And Reality
Become Involved In The Life-Altering Collision!?!

It Is Time, Brethren
To Wheel And Come Again!

Life Happens ...

So, You're Disappointed!
Will You Now Forget The Lord's Daily Goodnesses
And
Neglect To Wait
To Reflect
To Trust Truth
And
To Reason That He Is Almighty
He Knows Everything
He Sees Everything

He Is In Everything
And
He Feels Every Single, Solitary, Thing That
You Feel!

Will You Fail To Understand That
If No ... Or Wait
Is 

His Response To Your Request
Then 

It Is Because He Knows Best
He Loves You Best

And
He Does What Is Best For You
His Well-Beloved Child
In This Time Of Your Life!?!

Faith Does Not Permit Doubt ...

Wolves Prey!
Sheep Pray!

Believers Walk By Faith!
Non-Believers Live With Doubt!

The Faithful Live In Godly Fear!
The Doubting Live In Fear Without God!

Path of Faith:
Forsaking All I Trust Him
The Eternal, Holy, Faithful
Blessing, Giving, True God!

Path of Doubt:
Confusion
Doubt
Disbelief

Rebellion 
I Do Not Trust Him Whom I Cannot See
With My Carnal, Lying, Eyesight!

The Book Of Remembrance Of One's Lived Life
- By Self Having Been Unwisely Performed 
And 
By The Holy God 
Left Unedited, Unabridged, Unpolished
And
Plainly, Rawly, Written -
Will Be
Closed
Sealed
All Sin Retained On Your Personal Account
And
You, Unrepentant
Will Be Consumed 
- Burned To Nothingness -
At The Appointed Time 

In The Lake Of Fire
Unless ... Unless ... Unless

One Chooses To Step Back In Time
See The Detritus Of The Life ... Lived
And
Do The In-Depth Survey
Seeing The Real Need For The Savior
And
Confessing And Repenting To The Father God
In The Name Of Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son
With The Help Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth

While It is Still Today!

The Path Of Faith Leads To Life Everlasting! 

The Path Of Doubt Leads To Eternal Death!

Forgiveness By The Father

Because Of

Jesus Christ The Son

Is

The Eraser

In The Life Of Sinful Man

And

Is Activated Only Upon The Request

Of

The Confessing, Repentant, Soul

By The Exercise

Of

Its Personal, Daily, Gift Of Faith Given

Compliments Of The Only Holy God!

**--**--**--**--**--**

Confess Yours Faults To One Another

And

Confess Your Sins To The Living God ... Alone!

Jesus Christ Always Saves!!

EVIL DISEASE: Self Is A Fool!

No Bad Habit Will Bless
And
No Good Habit Will Curse
So, Let Us About Our Own Soul's Salvation 
Be Aggressively Bold
And
Put Bad Habits In The Gear Called Reverse!

Willful Sin Led Man Into The Curse
And

Jesus Christ Died The Baleful Curse To Reverse

So, Let Us Give Him "Thanks!"

Accept His Free Gift

And

Utter Unfeigned Praise

And

Put Satan On Notice That

Damnation Is Not Ours But His Hearse!

Salvation Is Free To Those Who Choose To Believe!

Damnation Is For Those Who Permit Themselves

To Be Deceived!

The Christ-Follower Is Not Foolish

Will Not Practice Anything Ghoulish

Will Not Be Mulish

Nor Behave About Almighty God's Laws 

As One Who Is Clueless!

Don't Live Your Life For The Crowd

The Views, The Thumbs-Ups, The  Hearts!

Let Your Heart Rest In Peace

Upon Him Who Is Our Peace

And

Depart From Self

Which Is A Known Evil Disease!

The Fool Says In His Heart That 

There Is No God 

So, By Extension

No Sin, No Judgment, No Reward! 

The Righteous Believe God's Word

And 

Tremble

And

Work Out Their Own Soul's Salvation With Godly Fear

Knowing That The Gracious God Holy

For Them ... Personally

Does Sacrificially Care! 

There Will Be No Fools In Heaven

So, Be Watchful! 

Be Wise

And

Let The Living Word Of Truth
Cause You Of The Dominion Of Doom

To Beware! 

Blessing Await The Lord Christ's Faithful! 

Cursings Await Satan's Faithful:

Do Not Let That Be You! 

Lift Up The Holy God!

Live For Jesus Christ:

He Is The Blessing God

- Never A Fraud -

And

Remember

Heaven Awaits The Faithful

The Just

The Kind

The Enduring

The Obedient

The Ever-True! 

Benediction ...

May The Lord Grant Unto Us

A Clean Tongue And Eyes

Unstopped Ears

A Heart Of Flesh Filled With His Love

And 

A Willing, Wise, Obedient

Loving, Faithful, Cooperative Spirit 

Useful In His Service! 

Peace Be Unto You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Complete Canalization Cure: The Holy Spirit

Anything Not Committed To Christ

Will Be Used By Satan

As A Canal To Your Soul's Damnation!

**--**--**--**--**--**

I Am At A Loss!
I Read Of One Pastor Saying That 

He Used To Be Afraid Of The Holy Spirit!

I Read The Work Of A Bible Teacher Who Says That 

We Can Learn To Make "Direct Contact" 

With The Holy Spirit And Intimating That 

We Can Do So At Will!

I Read My Bible
And The Word Of The Lord, Himself
Calls The Holy Spirit Another Comforter
So I Don't See What There Is
In The Holy Spirit To Fear!

I Read In My Bible That
No One Can Come To The Lord
Unless The Holy Spirit Calls Him!

I Also Read In My Bible About 

Communion With The Holy Spirit
Cooperating With Christ
Obedience To The Will Of God
Faithfulness, Endurance
Witnessing To Brethren
But I SEE No Where That
I Can Have Personal Contact ... At Will
With The Omnipotent Holy Spirit God!

Will Somebody Please Enlighten Me To The Truth, Please!?!

That's A Lot To Unpack!

God, Almighty God, Is A Spirit
And 

They That Worship Him
Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth!

Your Valid Point Is:

The Holy Spirit Calls Us!

My Point To You Is This:

The Holy Spirit Takes Up Residence
In Your Heart-House!
You Need Your Heart To Live!
You Can't Turn Your Heart On And Off
So If The Holy Spirit
By Your Uncoerced, Personal, Invitation
To The Lord Christ
Is 

In Residence
And
You Are Cooperating With Christ
Are You Not ... Already
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit!?!

Secondly,
If The Holy Spirit Leads Us
Is Leading Us Into All Truth
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Thirdly,
If The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides Us
How Can We Not Be In Personal Contact With Him!?!

Brethren,

The Church Is Filled With Many Persons
From Other Religious Traditions
And
There Are Many ... Even In Leadership Roles
Who "Believe" That Sight And Sound Is Salvation
Aka Pray A Prayer
Receive A Word, A Sign, A Wonder
And
You Are Saved!
You Have Salvation!

Put Differently
There Are Many Who Like To Have A New Thing
With Which To Thrill The Brethren!

I Ask You This:

Why Are You Searching For That 

Which You Have In Possession!?!

The Impartation Of The Holy Spirit
Is
A Gift To Us From The Lord
And
The Vision, The View, Of Our Gift
Is
Our Changed Lives, Likes, Dislikes
Desires, Hopes
Interactions, Reactions
Tastes, Temptations ...!

... Temptations!?!

Oh, Yes!
The Temptations That Satan Sends The Way Of
The Confessed, Converted, Christian
Are Strictly For The Purpose Of Shame And Denigration!

Shaming You ... The New Child Of Almighty God
And
Denigrating The Lord Christ
Because
The Knowledge Of His Sacrifice 

Didn't, Couldn't, "Stop" His Professing Child Reborn
From Doing The Nasty By Nature!

Before You Chose Christ
- By Accepting The Holy Spirit's Call -
You Were A Known Enemy Of The Eternal
So, Therefore, No Threat To The Dark Lord's Dominion!

As A Confessing, Repentant
Turning Away From Sin Unto Salvation
Practicing Christian
You Are Become A Problem
Thus A Threat
Thus A Target
And 
Marked For Neutralization
By Threatenings, Tests, Trials
Torrid Temptations
And
If All Else Fails
Termination With Prejudice!

Death To Defiers Of The Damned One!

Indeed!

But ...

We Have This Hope ...!

... Within Our Hearts!

AMEN!!!

What Do You Do When Satan's Knocking You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Love Is Calling You!?!

Pray!

What Do You Do When Hope Is Gone!?!
What Do You Do When You're All Alone!?!
What Do You Do When You Want To Call The Heavenly Home!?!

We Pray, Pray, Pray!

What Does The Holy Spirit Do With Your Prayers!?!

He Intercedes With Groanings!
Groanings That Cannot Be Uttered!

Who Knows The Mind Of God!?!

The Holy Spirit Of God!

And If We Have The Holy Spirit Indwelling Us
- Living Within Us -
Does It Not Stand To Reason ...!

... The Lord Said Come Let Us Reason Together ...!

... Which Means Gives The Lord Your Sin
Your Scarlet
Your Crimson
AndHe Shall Make Them White
Like Snow
Like Wool!

For That To Happen
The Gift Given By Your Personal Savior
- His Indwelling Holy Spirit -
Must Do A Personal Work Of Refurbishment
Reformation
Regeneration
In Me, In You, In Us!

Is This Something That We ... Fallen

Sinful, Sinning, Creatures Can Do!?!
Is This Something That We Can Engineer
By "Tapping Into!?!"

Brethren,

We Cannot Go To The Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit Comes To Us!
We Do Not Instruct The Holy Spirit
Saying:

Today I Want The Gifts Of The Spirit
Tomorrow I Want The Fruits Of The Spirit
Two Days Hence I Want To Witness To A Stranger-Friend
Next Sabbath I Want To Prophesy ...!

... If We Have The Power To Do All Of That
We Make The Word Of Almighty God A Verifiable Lie
And Our Blessed Lord A Charlatan!

In Essence
We Can Save Ourselves
And
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice For Us
Is
A Total Failure ... A Waste!

Isn't That Satan's Endgame!?!

Always Was And Always Will Be!

Brethren,

We Must Be Wise Unto Salvation!
The Word ... The Way Of The Lord
Is
Simplicity!

The Lord Has Told Us
How To Get To The Father
Which Is Through The Son
Who Gives Us Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is By Invitation
When We Accept The Living Word Of God 

Which Is Able To Save Our Souls!

Jesus Christ Is The Word!
The Word Became Flesh
And
Dwelt Among Us!
He Lived To Show Us How To Live Now!

He Died, Got Up

And 

Rose Up To The Father
And
Is In The Most Holy Place Of

The Heavenly Sanctuary 

Making Intercession For Us!

Before The Lord Christ Left The Earth
To Return To His Glory With The Father
He Said He Would Send Us Another Comforter
To Lead Us
To Be With Us
To Comfort Us
To Teach Us
To Bless Us!

The Lord Christ Did Not Lie
Because
He Cannot Lie!

He Is The Truth!

Since His Living Word Is Tried Gold
Imperishable
Rest ... Assured
That You ... A Born Again
Faithful, Believing
Working, Waiting, Watching
Cooperating-With-Christ Christian
Is
In Personal Contact With The Holy Spirit
Who Is Almighty God!

You Don't Need To Learn ... How
To Get Into Personal Contact
With The Holy Spirit!

What We Need To Do Is To Indulge
Willful Obedience
Ready Praying
Hard-Working Faith
Prayerful Watching
Constant Cooperation
Wise Witnessing
Loving Care
And
Cheerful Sharing Of Good Food

Blessing Words
And
Caring Comfort To All People
Friend, Not Yet Friend
And, Yes Even Our Foes!

We Do Not Need A New Thing
To Excite Our Fancy!
We Need To Trust
Honor, Worship, Obey

And

- The Hard One For Most -
Cooperate With The Lord
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
So That We May Be Eternally Blessed!

AMEN!!

Our Charge For The Week Ahead Is Found In

Proverbs 12:28 :

Righteousness Exalts ...Raises Up
A Person, A Family, A People!
Our Lord Jesus Is Righteousness Personified
So Let Us Endeavor To Daily Walk In His Footsteps
So That In The Great Day Of Judgment
Our Reward Is Not Condemnation But The Well-Done Commendation
And
The Welcome Into The Joy Of Our Lord!

Remember ...

Right Living ... Righteousness
Is
A Choice Which Pays Present, Future
And
Eternal Dividends
That No Created Being Can Erase Or Steal
Because
Jesus Christ ... By The Holy Spirit
Saves And Seals
So Let Your Life Lived In Him Shine As A Light In This Dark World Of Sin!

Peace Be Unto You!

AMEN!!!
